Cartiva can be used as a substitute for the damaged articular cartilage in your knee. The device provides a viable alternative to those patients seeking relief for their knee pain but not wanting a total knee replacement. Cartiva can also be used to treat osteoarthritis at the base of the thumb. The implant relieves pain and restores range of motion by allowing the bones around the thumb to glide smoothly over one another.
The artificial components of a total knee replacement are referred to as the prosthesis. The posterior cruciate ligament is a tissue that normally stabilizes each side of the knee joint so that the lower leg cannot slide backward in relation to the thighbone.he knee is a hinge joint which provides motion at the point where the thigh meets the lower leg. The thighbone (or femur) abuts the large bone of the lower leg (tibia) at the knee joint. During a total knee replacement, the end of the femur bone is removed and replaced with a metal shell.
